I am not a mechanic, but my oil pressure sensor on my 2005 Nissan Xterra went bad, so I needed to fix it. I couldn't find any videos that showed me everything I wanted to see, so I thought I'd make this video for other folks in the same situation. I tried to cover all bases in the video, but I'm sure there's some things I forgot.
Keep in mind, I am NOT a mechanic, so please seek a professional mechanics help if you can afford to, and if not, please read up the Nissan Service Manual and watch other videos on how to do this in addition to watching this. Also, if you decide to jack up the car, please do not rely on my instructions on how to do it; rather, watch other videos and look in the Nissan owners manual / service manual for the best instructions.
Speaking of which, I highly recommend that you DO NOT jack up the vehicle for this repair. I only did it to make it easier to film, and give me a bit more room under the vehicle.
Also, I mentioned in the video that you need the 3-prong connector for the 2005 Nissan Xterra. This may or may not be true. I needed the 3-prong connector. But your vehicle may be different, so I suggest that BEFORE you buy a new sensor, you crawl under your vehicle, disconnect the wiring harness and see what kind of sensor you need. The big-name auto retailers list a part for about $20.00 that has a square connector and one pin as "fitting my vehicle." I bought that originally, only to discover it was the wrong part. They also listed the rectangle shape with the 3-prongs as "fitting my vehicle" for about $60.00, and that IS the correct part. I'm not sure why they list both parts as "fitting my vehicle," but perhaps the former part fits on some Xterras and the latter just happens to be the right one for mine. So please, check your connection before buying the part.
Finally, I am not making any money by doing this or any other videos. I have no links leading you to products pages. I am not endorsing any particular brand or retailer. I am doing this only to help folks out. So please keep that in mind before posting negative comments.Thanks.
